Careless Whisper
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time can never make careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart in mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is the heart you'll find
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Goes to minus silver screen
And not exactly goodbye
I'm never gonna dance again
Gifted feet have got no rhythm
Well it's easy to pretend
I know I'm not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
Wasted chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never make careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart in mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is the heart you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
Gifted feet have got no rhythm
Well it's easy to pretend
I know I'm not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
Wasted chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that beat could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt eachother with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have been in this dance forever
But no one's gonna dance with me
Please stay
I'm never gonna dance again
Gifted feet have got no rhythm
Well it's easy to pretend
I know I'm not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
Wasted chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
What did I do so wrong that you had to leave
